Unicoi looks to be the favor in the wautaga confrence once again. With Miller and Headley return from last year as leaders and also has added length with Whitson and Lyle who are 6'4" and long. And a big presence down low 6'5" Turner. They are also going to be very deep on the bench with Corn and Tolley. Unicoi should cause alot of matchup problems this year. They are very strong defensively and is going to keep trying to push it like they did last year. So you know what that means?? Another undeafted confrence championship.

Is Unicoi County playing in the Arby's Classic this year?

 

I wish Dobyns Bennett would schedule the Blue Devils, a home/away series. I think it would be a good gate in Kingsport and especially in Erwin.

I agree to very tough teams with great coaches

 

Maybe next year, Dobyns Bennett has 16 conference games and 4 out of conference games scheduled (Greeneville and Cherokee (Home/Away)). After the reclassification next year, however, when there are less teams in Class AAA District 1, I could see this match up happening. Hope to see it.

 

Again, though, is Unicoi County going to be part of the local tournament field in the Arby's Classic this year?

They are not playing in the arby's again this year. played one year and didn't get asked back last year because of graduating 7 seniors the previous year and then went 30-4 last year. no one expected them to do that. /motorbike.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":motorbike:" border="0" alt="motorbike.gif" />

Yeah everybody is still waiting on that drop off but it just hasn't happened and prolbably wont. Unicoi would have been in the arbys this year but they already had signed the contract to play in the hardees classic and a tournament in Florida and your only allowed to play in two tournaments per season.

Unicoi must have a great coach. One of their former players (who I guess would have been a senior this year) was just named preseason player of the year in the Piedomont District by the local ESPN radio station in Martinsville, Virginia. They would have been even tougher to beat.

 

 

do you know a name for that player????? /motorbike.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":motorbike:" border="0" alt="motorbike.gif" />

This is just a complete guess going off the people who have moved to Virginia that would in this year's graduating class...but would that player be Zakk Hale?

 

Just a guess.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
